Young regulus who had awful separation anxiety when it came to Sirius.
Cut to many of years later when Regulus has to call Harry, his boyfriend’s (of 2 years) 6 year old son, each night to tell him a bedtime story while on a business trip.
Sirius thinks this type of karma is hilarious
Honestly could be any of the marauders they are having a bad time
James Potter walking around Hogwarts encounters a black kitty. Calls him handsome, pets him, and takes many pictures, baby-talking to him like normal people do when they see a cat.
Regulus Black afterwards, gay panicking in his dorm. Because someone called him handsome. James Potter called him handsome.
James in his room just talking about a cute kitty he found on the grounds, completely oblivious.

Genuinely one of my favorite things about the maruaders fandom that is widely agreed upon:
Regulus is trans. Everyone assumes Remus is trans because werewolf behavior can look suspiciously similar to having a period. Shenanigans ensue:
*During 1st Year*
Sirius: *discreetly giving Remus chocolate during his time of the month*
Remus, in his head: HOW DOES HE KNOW? HOW DOES HE KNOW I'M A WEREWOLF? HOW DOES HE KNOW CHOCOLATE HELPS? WHY IS HE NOT SAYING ANYTHING? WHAT IS HAPPENING?
*Quidditch Locker Room*
Marlene: FUCK!
Sirius: What's wrong?
Marlene: I started my period and don't have anything on me!
James, who started carrying extras because he's a mom friend: Oh, here you go.
Marlene: *intensely stares at them* Okay if James carries the tampons and Remus is the one who uses them, why the FUCK is Sirius named Pads???
James: I. . .what?
Sirius: Abort Prongs. There's no right answer to this one.
*During a Study Session*
Regulus: Ugh, I'm so jealous of you sometimes Lupin.
Remus "Low Self-Esteem" Lupin: Why?
Reg: It's just that. . .well, if your mood is any indication, your time of the month is so CONSISTENT! Like, every 28 days like clockwork. You've never had 2 in one month or anything!
Remus, in his head: . . .is. . .is Regulus a werewolf too? Is this how Sirius was so accepting?
Remus out loud: You get it TWICE sometimes, how is that even possible?
Reg: I know right, it's so unfair!
Regulus: . . .
Peter: . . .
Regulus: So is there a REASON you've been stalking me or---
Peter: Are you a werewolf?
Reg: The fuck? No? Why---
Peter: KAY THANKS BYE!
*later*
Remus: oh my God Peter I didn't mean ASK HIM
Peter: Well how the fuck else was I supposed to find out?
Everyone start milking the comedy potential, or I'll have to write it myself! This is a threat! There's enough angst in this fandom, we need more pure comedy fics!
James Potter's loyalty to his friends as seem by Snape:
“Like father, like son, Potter! I have just saved your neck; you should be thanking me on bended knee! You would have been well served if he’d killed you! You’d have died like your father, too arrogant to believe you might be mistaken in Black — now get out of the way, or I will make you"
James Potter's loyalty to his friends as seem by Lupin:
"No, I think you're like James," said Lupin, "who would have regarded it as the height of dishonor to mistrust his friends."
Evan who is quiet around everyone BUT Barty
Barty who is loud around everyone BUT Evan
Evan gets to talk without fear of being annoying or talked over, and Barty gets to sit and listen without feeling the need to be the center of attention.
They both are enough for the other
remus has a really deep and low voice btw and it's even worse when he just woke up, so sirius has to take a long breath every morning when he hears the usual "good morning, baby" and get himself together
look i am all for the james “christmas whore” potter and regulus “the grinch” black but what we are all forgetting is that the grinch actually loved christmas he just pretended he didn’t bc of his big sad heart
Gender is not the same as sex. Gender is what you identify with, while sex is what Sirius Black is having with Remus Lupin tonight. Stay tuned.
regulus discussing with james about coming out as trans to sirius
sirius overhearing "what if he freaks out james?" "he won't love, he'll be supportive" "this will change everything" "stop worrying, he's your brother, he'll understand" and thinking regulus is pregnant.
also him noticing regulus wearing looser clothes and freaking the fuck out because he is not ready to be an uncle!!!
I needed to represent this moment because I think we don’t talk enough about how heartbreaking this night was for Lupin.
That night, the wounds of the war reopened. His world crumbled at his feet, and everything he believed to be true turned out to be a lie. For the first time in 12 years, he could see everything with clarity… and that clarity didn’t bring peace, only pain. He started thinking about how this would change his world entirely. He felt like *he* was the traitor—for not trusting his heart sooner.
For years, he lived with guilt, loss, and isolation, thinking he had already endured the worst. But learning the truth pulled the ground from under him. He didn’t just lose James, Lily, Peter and Sirius—he lost his trust in himself. And now, seeing it all clearly, he’s left with nothing but regret and the quiet ache of betrayal—toward his friends, and toward his own soul.
And this is all my heart and thoughts into this piece, love you 💗🫂 hope you like it ✨
